Hasbro unveiled a new type of collectible to the Black Series line up at Toy Fair 2017 called Centerpiece. These are static mini dioramas from epic moments in Star Wars history. They come with a statue of a character and have light up electronics. They are in scale with the 6 inch Black Series figures, and are intended to work with them. They even have pegs and peg holes all over the base for you to pose out additional Black Series 6 figures.

The first one is Darth Vader busting through the door of the Tantive IV (Leia’s ship at the beginning of A New Hope). It features an explosion on the door frame which lights up along with the rim of the door itself. It’s intended to work with classic Stormtroopers. It is generic enough that you can remix it into any other Vader + Squad entering anyplace of your choice though. Read on to check some additional thoughts and over 50 HD pics courtesy of Dorkside Toys!

We now begin to celebrate some of his most iconic song parodies, starting with “White and Nerdy,” which was Al’s first single to go Platinum, selling more than a million copies. The figure wears fabric clothing based on the music video and features all new head and hand sculpts. It’s fully poseable and stands 8” tall.

Inspired by the 1992 Dark Horse comic book mini-series written by Frank Miller and drawn by Walt Simonson! When fate reveals that the technology that built RoboCop will lead to the creation of Skynet, Alex Murphy must engage in time-twisting battle against both the murderous computer network and the human resistance fighters out to destroy him! This 7” scale action figure 2-pack contains the EndoCop and Terminator Dog, and is perfect for army-building future war scenes. Each figure has between 20 and 25 points of articulation. Includes Auto 9 pistol accessory. Comes in display-friendly window box packaging with opening flap.

A new series of action figure stands are now available from NECA. The mini stands are aimed at collectors who would like to display the additional head sculpts that are included with many collectible figures. With this simple 3-pack of stands, fans can easily place an extra portrait on the stand and sit it next to their figure for display, without taking up too much additional room. Each set includes three stands and multiple interchangeable pegs. This allows you to use the stands with not only NECA figures, but those from many other companies, such as McFarlane, Hasbro’s Marvel Legends, Storm Collectibles, Mezco, Diamond Select Toys and more. The NECA Action Figure Head Stands can be found at most online retailers now and they shouldn’t cost more than $7 for the 3-pack.

NECA sent along a set for us to test out. After the jump you can see my photos of the stands in action and read up on my thoughts of these unique display stands.
